Ozil departed the scene with a hamstring injury at half-time, following 45 minutes where he once again looked someway below his best.

However Graham, speaking to talkSPORT, says that he is backing the former Real Madrid man to come, in similar manner to Gunners legend Dennis Bergkamp.

"There's a lot of famous players that come over to the Premiership and they really find the high-tempo of the game, the physical side of the game very, very tough and I think it takes time to settle in," explained Graham, who spent nine years as Arsenal boss.

"I remember Dennis Bergkamp when he came over, even he struggled; So I think he's [Ozil's] got talent, there's no question about it - I think he's one of the most talented players in Europe - but I think it's going to take him a little bit of time to settle in.
